ing-Littlo Work Done.

Special Dispatch 10 the Appeal.
FLonENcE, Ala, Dec. 10. The weather
was cool today aud favorable Tor good
work, and much would have been accom-.
plished but for the scarcity oi birds. We
feared from the first that birds would moi
be plentiful, owing o. Inc drought thai
prevailed for months oser this entire $40,
ton OF country. On the grounds there
were about thiHy.fiyo native coycys, and
over 800 birds were Melted and turned
loose on the trial grounds before the meet
ing began. Experience has shown in the
past that such birds arr not TO be relied on
for satisfactory work.
Tho decisions OF the judges are giving
entire satisfaction, NJ iur ~ We can learn,
which Is a very remarkable thing Tho
Interest manifested by all present, aud
their name Is legion, does not nbatc one
particle, and the crowd seems 10 grow
rather than diminish.
